The Eleventh of September

I wrote this two years ago, but i decided to post it here in honor of those who died on that awful day.

The Eleventh of September

The eleventh of September...

The eleventh of September..

Dawned bright, a brand new morn...

We could not know...

before days end, America would be torn...

From the blue sky came our sorrow...

the planes that brought our tears...

we watch in gasping horror...

and tried to still our fears..

Our people were there dying ...

right before our very eyes...

as the planes of sorrow brought sure death...

from the clear blue New York skies....

Fire rained down from heaven...

Death was all around...

In a farm field in Pennsylvania...

A plane crashed to the ground...

Hatred was the enemy...

Planes the weapon choice...

America had been attacked...

and now would raise her voice...

Her people gathered together...

All in one accord...

Prayers resounded to heaven...

Pleading help from our Dear Lord..

Brother helped a mother...

a neighbor lent a hand...

A sister helped a father...

United we would stand...

We gathered up our courage...

and held our flag up high...

We would not let them win this war...

no matter how they try...

We stand United to this day...

our hearts they glow with pride...

for the hero's who on that day...

September 11, died.....

May their memories last forever...

May we remember all who died...

May we never forget those precious souls...

And the day America cried...
